Default Pumyra or Cheetara?

Now that the show has two leading ladies, which one do you like more? Personally, I loved Cheetara but couldn't care less about Pumyra in the OS but in the new series I find myself feeling completely opposite about the two. Cheetara just seems like a Mary Sue character without any depth or character while Pumyra brings a unique sense of hot-hotheadedness and badassery to the group. Not to mention Pumyra seems easier on the eyes compared to Cheetara.

Pumyra! I always loved her in the original series and was always disappointed that they didnt do more with her. So far, only two episodes in, she is really great in the new series and looks to be one of my favorite characters.

IMO it's too early to decide. We don't know their personality. Pumyra was just introduced and I'm sure we haven't seen all sides of Cheetara.

I am deeply in love with this new Pumyra, she's fiesty, brash and man is she beautiful! I love how she tends to tap into that primal side, growling, hissing and spitting like one of the boys and I'd love to see Cheetara let lose like this in a grave situation, though it isn't likely, seeing as though it would be in direct opposition to who she is. Oddly enough I love Cheetara's stillness with Tygra's stormy personality, she's able to soothe him in distress and anger, and I think if Pumyra and Lion-O become a pair her wild energy will be exactly what Lion-O needs to perfect a sense of cool collectiveness and patience and grow to be a great king.

I still favor Cheetara, something about the mystical, enigmatic cleric that just wins me. And I can't really say who's prettier, they both have a different kind of beauty, Pumyra has kind of a dark, deep beauty associated often with more outgoing/older/experienced women while Cheetara has almost a light, soft look (associated more often with younger women usually) that fits with hermore patient/mellow personality.

That being said I REALLY cannot wait to see Cheetara's story fleshed out I'm sure I'll only like her more after.

I picked Pumyra...

It sucks because Cheetara has the potential for so many interesting stories and what not. I'm just waiting for her to make her own mark on this franchise. She's just a tad bit boring.

Pumyra on the other hand is loads of fun! She's not perfect, and if last episode is any indication, we're going to spend some time changing her for the better.

She better keep that hot hotheadedness.

Pumyra hands down. She's so awesome. I like Cheetara but Pumyra just pushes everything to a new level. She has her problems, but she's definitely one of the best fighters. Overall, her character is pulled off so well and it's nice to finally have a semi-crazy (at least when it comes to revenge) girl on the team.

I was somewhat getting tired with Cheetara. The newest episode helped, but I don't like her character near as much as Pumyra. Cheetara is far from a boring character, but she seems to be almost too mature at some points. I can also point out that she did flirt with Lion-O before the whole love triangle thing happened, and to completely blow it off that it was just "encouragement" was slightly ridiculous (not bashing the writers).

It just seems like Pumyra is a good fit for the cats and that she'll only get better from here on out.

I think just the pure contrast from the OS to the NS makes me like Pumyra more than Cheetara.

Default The opinion of AnonymousIncognito

Picked Pumyra only because I am disgusted with the way the staff turned Cheetara from such a dynamic and interesting charcter in the 80's into a lackluster, oblivious, shallow, and foolish character ready to turn her back on her friends and her duties at the drop of a Thunderian hat all because she is hot-crotched for an arrogant, jealous, spoiled, selfish, racist, bigot of a tiger that gave her a friggin flower 10 years prior.

In my opinion, the writers and producers assassinated Cheetara's character way to much. I only hope there is time left to redeem her.

Dang, calm down! Tygra isn't that bad! It seems like you're still mad over "Between Brothers" and haven't seen many episodes since then.

Tygra helped her get her place with the clerics. If it weren't for him, she would've probably ended up on the streets. He also rescued her multiple times throughout the season. Lion-O (who I am a HUGE fan of, by the way) did not do anything to get Cheetara to like him.

Also, Cheetara is not lackluster, foolish, shallow, or oblivious. These are the exact opposite of what she is. Sure, we don't know much about her and her story hasn't been expanded on much, but she added the feminine touch to the team that wasn't quite there.

I personally voted for Pumyra but seriously, you have the completely wrong views about this show.
